[Sweet romance, devoted to each other, older woman-younger man, mutual devotion]
In her previous life, she was Ye Ziqing’s wife. She never imagined that her mother-in-law would bring home a concubine who had just miscarried. How could she possibly accept that?
In this life, she wants nothing to do with Ye Ziqing. All she wants is to remain unmarried and stay by her family’s side.
Ye Xu was orphaned as a child. He is the legitimate son of the eldest master of the Duke of Rong’s household, and Ye Ziqing’s cousin. He grew up with neither a father’s affection nor a mother’s love, though surely his life must still have been comfortable. Then Yun Ran came across his wretched circumstances and asked her father to help him. She never expected this to make him a great general.
In this life, Yun Ran only has any connection with him because he prepared a carriage and warm clothes for her before she left the capital. Yet she never expected to lose herself in his repeated calls of “Elder Sister” and the boundless tenderness in his eyes.
To her, he is only a low-ranking soldier on the front lines. When she learns he is the commander, she is utterly astonished. Not because she doubts his abilities, but because she cannot imagine how someone so gentle could command his troops. Only when she sees him riding his warhorse and leading his army south does she understand: this man’s tenderness is meant for her alone.
It's rare to see a book like this that writes about an ex-husband without resentment. It's not that the heroine doesn't know people well, it's that the second hero and the heroine are really not suitable, and the second hero deserves his love. As mentioned in the novel, Yunran hopes that Ye Ziqing will always be the warm and handsome young man. If Ye Ziqing hadn't been a very good person, Yun Ran wouldn't have fallen in love with him in his previous life, let alone sacrifice for him. After all, no one in the capital would be fooled. It's better than those who write off their ex-husbands as crazy whenever they mention the past life. Even if they were temporarily confused in the previous life, will they be confused for the rest of their lives? If you really have a clear mind, you won't be able to change your destiny just because of an occasional right choice.
